Detect Money

I would like to inform you one of the most original ideas resulting in great success which I have seen in blogging world lately. Bloghology, the first printed and digital magazine aiming especially blogging industry. Actually, the man behind the idea is my friend Mert from searchforblogging.com and had started bloghology as a blogging magazine in adobe pdf format where he had introduced bloggers and interviewed them almost a year ago. The quality brought more bloggers interested in project and the more bloggers helped him to re-establish bloghology in a more serious commercial level with several partners. Now, it was introduced in a well respected blogging expo and will reach to more than 40.000 readers as a printed copy. Actually, you can read it online as well for free at Bloghology Digital but I suggest to subscribe to printed magazine. The quality is high, articles are useful and reading the world’s first and only blogging magazine in a printed form gives the reader a better taste and experience.

So, what is the content in bloghology?

The main topic is make money online of course, as well as SEO tips, real success stories of other bloggers which can be used as a model for us, traffic building tips, and surely the most powerful side of the magazine, interviews with the blogging leader. For example, the first edition featured Yaro Starak in an exclusive interview. The magazine has its own writer (blogger) base from many countries and aim to provide useful content.

p.s : I have learned that bloghology reached also a thousands of visitors at the leading IT and Technology expo of Turkey and Europe, Cebit Bilisim Eurasia

I was lately seeing everywhere these words. Link bait. Now, I understand how exactly it works after seeing live examples and will provide you one of the most effective ones. Bait means to throw little worms to the sea to grab the fishes. In MMO world, it is the process of writing a spectacular controversial article to grab attention of other bloggers and dynamically spread your link through discussions and trackbacks. Cool yeah? Here is what I believe a link bait. Since I am writing on it as well, it is successful.

Seth Godin suggested to click ads to show your appreciation for the blog owner if the content that you read was good. It has fallen to the SEO and MMO community like a bomb and most people including A bloggers blamed him supporting click fraud and have given links to his blog and have driven traffic. Jackpot. Seo and Traffic ! Since, you have understood basically how the linkbait works, I will do my part and eat the worm by writing my opinions about the topic naturally.

First let’s look how the market in general works. We have three players. Publisher, Advertiser and Customer. The ideal is Win – Win – Win and it can be only provided in natural sequence. Customer sees a relevant ad, buys the product on the target and becomes happy. Advertiser sells, happy and finally we publishers get our commission, happy.

Suppose a situation that a small budget advertiser spends $5,000 for marketing a specific product with the expectation of 20% profits. So, he expects to earn $1000 but assume that these fraud and suggested tip clicks get from the budget $1500 with no sales. The result is a loss and most probably this advertiser will not turn to the system with this product, so publisher will not get his future opportunity cost commissions. Loss – Loss – Neutral what we have in the model in the long ru .

Seth has also a right part stating that “I never click on ads people” are wrong. I do agree with him. If you believe that you will benefit from the advertisement do click but not for the only solely purpose tipping the blog owner.

I will give a real example. Since I use statcounter.com’s free service for all my websites, should I click on their ads time to time to support because I think as much as they earn money, their service will continue nicely and I will benefit? Do you feel what’s wrong here in those ideas?

You can also benefit linkbaiting and get your part by linking to these posts including mine for sure Then someone else does it for you until it reaches to a point in the ground of the pyramid scheme. Faster you join better you get the benefit.

Unfortunately, making money online is a really difficult task. If you are not a marketing guru who can convert every 1000 visitors to $100 a day, you have to play the game according to the traditional rules. Rule #1 is simple but clearly explains everything. If you don’t have visitors you can’t make money. I will give you some clues (in no importance order) how I artificially increase my traffic when there is not enough Google search juice.

Don’t forget that these techniques are not for the long term but a quick and dirty approach to use for your specific pages to get cash as soon as possible. For example, you could be marketing an advertising network like Chitika etc. to get referrals as fast as you can.

• Use Google Analytics and look weekly where your visitors come to your specific page. Get the top list and stumble upon, digg them if you didn’t. If you have some time, post these articles using services like SocialMarker.com. You will get visitors as well because there are your links in those articles. If the traffic is from a comment you dropped before, write another useful comment on another popular article on the source site to refresh it.
• Use Facebook effectively. Create a page there and drop some useful content. Find some related forums and advertise your product page. Add new people from US cities to friend list. It is not hard but a little bit black hat. Find an attractive model photo, make your homepage to your ads page and your inbox will get hundreds of new friendship offers in a few day. Many of them will become your fans as well This is suitable especially if you are advertising a product page to get CPA cash constantly. It is quite popular in blackhat style moneymakers and Facebook seems to be not fighting with these evil money makers at all.
• Throw many Google Adwords campaigns on the network with the price of 0.01 dollar for a click with small broad word sets. Since most make money online bloggers are from Malaysia, Philippines and India limit the target to these countries. If your target page is a good opportunity to make money online, you will get back multiples of what you spend in terms of referrals.
• Do not check daily your earnings statistics for Adsense, statcounter or other income sources. Since you are not a media baron making millions of dollars, why to lose time with those little cash and dream for more. Don’t be slave to dreams. A weekly check is enough to see overall progress. Ok, it is a strategical thing, I admit.
• Do not waste your time writing usernames and passwords for the websites you extensively use each day over and over. Trust Firefox and save your information. It is quite useful if you use socialmarker because you don’t need to enter username and passes to every social network. This one is strategical as well.
• Don’t waste your Entrecard ECs in empty articles. Empty article is an article where you don’t get anything since you don’t have affiliate links inside. Instead, search for a profitable offer and if you believe you get many referrals chargeeeeeeeee with your 10,000 ECS in the network.
• Join free advertising networks like Mogado peel ads. This will bring a good click through rate because people wonder what resides under this cover.  Noticed the ads on the right top of my website?
• Advertise cheap on Adtoll with geo targeting. It is quite effective. There are many websites which you will pay only 0.01 for world wide traffic or 8 cents for targeted US traffic.
• Do not afraid to experiment with your money. I spend at least 10% of what I earn to increase my possibilities to earn more. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The most important thing is it is calculated and in the budget.

As I said, it is a quick article (not strategical development) which I hope that it has given you some clues.

I know many bloggers who have written sponsored reviews for payday loans each day obsessively using services like sponsored reviews, payperpost, smorty, blogsvertise, linkworth etc. I believe now that my fellow Philippine bloggers know more about payday loans than many US citizens. Anyway, I was one of those writing obsessives, I didn’t know a single word at first, but gained quite knowledge after writing around at least 40 posts in multiple blogs during the year! Have your ever thought why it is so popular and advertisers are willing to pay money to spread buzz around their websites? The answer is straightforward. They make huge, really huge money because of loan commission rates. Eventhough there is competition you can still get your share on this market if you concentrate on it and show the obsession to market your payday loan affiliate website instead of writing for paid posts. Honestly, I didn’t try making money with payday loans yet because I didn’t have time but know some bloggers who are making a good extra income using it. Why not to try?

First, I will briefly explain what the payday loans in other words cash advance loans are for those who didn’t hear about them. If you know it, just skip this paragraph please and continue with the affiliate program. Payday loan is a quite popular solution to short term money needs whatever the reason can be; unpaid bills, money for repair, or even shopping.  These services pay around $1000 overnight to the applicant’s bank account. Simple to apply online and get approved. Minimum income, US citizenship, bank account and being over 18 years old. That’s it. No faxes, bad credit ok, easy application fast approval. Enough saying, let’s continue explain how you can become an affiliate.

There are lots of payday loan services but I will explain why you should choose PaydayOne Payday Advance Affiliate Program. The first thing I do for every affiliate program is to check their Alexa rankings, Google Pagerank, the website design and cookie time. Alexa ratings are around 50,000. It means traffic, so potential to convert into customers. Pagerank is high at 4, so it has good backlinks. The website looks professional to trust. And finally it has a 60-day cookie life, which means that customer information is held for 60 days in their computers and if they decide to get payday loan from the website during the 60 days you get paid. Additionally, it is a trusted Payday lending service, based in the US and state licensed.

You are getting paid $25 for every new customer which completes the application, accepted and get the loan. By the nature of payday loans, you can assume that once they apply they are accepted. So, the mission is to drive targeted traffic to your blog post, banner or custom made website whatever with your affiliate link embedded inside. Commission Checks paid monthly on accounts earning a minimum of $100 commission. So, once you begin you shouldn’t give up until you reach the minimum payout.

Final words, I now registered with them and provide you some sample banners below as well with my affiliate links inside. Short term money need? Use my banners below. LOL !
